Privet, Beech, Hornbeam, (from the hedging sections), Lonicera nitida (or other small leaved varieties), cotoneaster, pyracantha. Elms if they are available in garden centres would be excellent. Evergreens - junipers, boulevards. If you see something you like, search on here and if there are 100s of posts its probably a good species to get. Or just ask. The difference between an easy species and a difficult species will be huge in the early days. |
